THEMES

What new features should be added to the listening experience to make it not only more convenient but also an integral part of our lives?

Exercise & Motion

Your Idea

Our communication devices have moved from our homes to our pockets to our bodies. From glasses to watches to earpieces, it’s clear we will no longer be carrying our connecting devices— we’ll be wearing them. How does this change the listening experience for all of us?

Wearables

Portability is no longer an issue: We use our devices while traveling, exercising indoors or out, and whenever we’re on the go. How does this experience differ from sitting down and passively listening to stories and news? What new capabilities do we need to make this experience even more seamless?

We are increasingly sharing our every action with our friends, our contacts, and our network. What is the future of social listening in our new, hyper-connected world?

Social

BUT DON'T FEEL CONSTRAINED TO OUR SUGGESTIONS

If you have an idea, but no team, you can still register to lead a team.
